Stars Through Night Air (a poem)

 

Shadows of days disappear
families of forever silhouette silence
softly changing from being too past
outlines of darkness
in a veil of deep cold

Stars are loyal lights in the night
sky of oxygen and eternity
while life runs its course
children gazing in wonder at bright constellations
rediscover them again when old

Memories are visions
when the stars’ breath was mystery
and life was life, not history
fire of the sun placed to grow grass
lain upon after twilight

Stars remain forever
thrown across the Universe
like beaches of diamond worlds
joined with atmospheric heaven
in the smell of Earth’s moist lome

It was there and always shall be
a world without end
for a moment seeming personal
remembrance an old friend
others already gone away
where future too does send.
